Quite basic questions on goals, ammbitions, strengths, weaknesses. A lot of emphasis on values, understanding of corporate culture. (E.g. would you work for a tobacco company?) Mention something difficult that you have overcome.

I was asked "Tell me about a time you had to deal with ambiguity at work?" (as if the question wasn't ambigous enough, lol" The entire interview process is one effort to trip you up after another. It was very challenging in a fun way. The "case work" challenge is interesting too, but very open ended. They told me that is intentional and only want you to defend your analytics.
